... and is not the default. The default invocation of 'svnadmin dump'
remains compatible with older versions.

+1 on switching back to svndiff0 as the default.

We can add a --svndiff1 option later, which will, when used with
--deltas, cause a dumpstream with a bumped version number (what are we
at, 3?) to be generated.

To be clear about what I'm thinking:

   (no options): dumpstream version 2, no deltas (and thus,
                 svndiff-independent)
   --deltas: dumpstream version 3, svndiff0 deltas
   --deltas --svndiff1: dumpstream version 4, svndiff1 deltas
